q-tip letter tracing Activity

qtip letter tracing- toddler at play (1)

This Q-tip Letter Tracing  Activity is a great way for toddlers to learn the letters of the alphabet as well as begin writing!

I was pleasantly surprised to see my Q-tip Number Trace activity become one of the most popular activities over at Toddler at Play (based on most visited activity). It’s awesome! And that’s because truly this activity is so simple to prep, requiring only a few materials and accomplishing a whole lot of learning. These activities are my favorite and I’m always super happy to share them with you all!

And like the Number Tracing activity, this one is very similar as we are using the same technique except with the letters of the alphabet. My son (3) adored this idea for q-tips and learning the letters. He is learning each new letter everyday at a speed of light and this activity has helped him learn so much while having a blast! I love that this also incorporates writing, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Keep reading to see exactly what else it being improved with this Q-tip Letter Tracing activity!

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Alphabet (the child is visually seeing each letter, it’s order in the alphabet, pronouncing it)
  • Writing (tracing with the q-tip helps the child work on writing, hand movement)
  • Hand-eye coordination (being careful to stay on the lines of the letters with the q-tip)
  • Fine motor skills (holding the q-tip correctly as if a writing utensil)
  • Colors (this activity also incorporated color matching as the child has to match each color of the letter to the paint color)

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
